First of all i'm sorry if this is the wrong forum for this however I wasn't sure where else to put it.
I woke up this morning to find that my desktop computer is unable to boot up properly however it was working fine last night.
When I turn it on both the PSU and CPU cooler fans work for approx 5-6 seconds before the power cuts out completely. I am thinking this might be a fail safe for a short circuit somewhere however with closer inspection I could not find one.
I had checked all the connections, looked for bent pins, tested each stick of RAM and disconnected hardware to see if anything works but there is no change.
The only time something new happens is when I disconnect the CPU power cable and turn the desktop on. This time both fans stay on continuously as if it is now working properly. Obviously nothing happens though as the CPU is not connected.
I am out of ideas and was wondering if any of you could help possibly locate the problem.
Thanks.
